friends and family
We had a friend stay with us over the weekend (he was our best man at the wedding) so we took him up American Fork Canyon (it’s about 2 minutes from our house, just around the corner) to Tibble Fork Reservoir. The place was packed but I got a few pics while we walked around (the last one is Brent).
I love seeing daddy with his kids (can you see Jack?)
I didn’t have my zoom on but managed to catch this ground squirrel…
Sometimes my kids surprise me and not fight (and I did NOT set this shot up)
This is Brent. Hi Brent.

The first pic, she’s smiling perfectly. After a while she’s DONE with pictures (mmm look at that yummy light)…
He’s usually patient with me when I take his picture. His smile is often overdone these days but I can get his authentic grin by saying something funny (I’ve always got something funny to say). The first is on a tree stump that he managed to get on without falling into the brink. He was so excited for me to take his picture. The second is showing that he’s DONE too…
Q: Did you really think ALL my pictures turn out fabulous? Tee hee. Sometimes you have to get through a lot of duds to find the gems (that’s why I take so many pictures).

Here I am this morning (about 30 minutes ago) in front of one of our original oil paintings. This one is called Figura Entre Pinos and it’s painted by Royo.
Check out CJane’s blog for other blogger self-portraits. Mine was a toss-up between this one and some nudes I tried with my timer. Luckily, you got the better one ;o) If there’s enough begging and pleading I might add one of the nudes. MIGHT.

My cute friend, Rebecca Cengiz, has a new project she’s working on in regards to “being single in a culture of couples.” If you are LDS and single, click here to participate in a survey. If you are LDS and not single and want to participate then please forward the survey to your single LDS friends.
P.S. I’ve been working on my new website (very exciting); that’s why I’ve been a little blogectful recently.

Last week I had Katie & Rebekah over with their kids for lunch (I make a MEAN homemade mac n’ cheese). I figured if I fed them they’d share some photography secrets. Thank you thank you thank you both! It’s fun to see what we all saw… click here for Katie’s pics of the day and here for Rebekah’s images.

Made this a little grainy for a softer, old-fashioned, feel.
Drip, drip, drip.

It’s fall but it’s been SNOWING throughout the day today. This is my 3-year-old showing me the fallen leaves she gathered a few weeks ago in the park.

Monday daddy was sick so the kids and I took off for a day of whatever came our way. We had a few errands to run (pick up the disc Holly left at a local boutique because she was late for a wedding out of town, meet Angie at South Towne Mall to deliver said disc, plus mine, so she could choose favorites from her engagement session, drop off pictures to Matt from Lisa as a surprise – I love GOOD surprises).
Gardner Village was our next stop. We went to wander and found these…
I almost can’t stand how cute my boy is!!!
Inside these cups are Baboa Tea thingys – not too sure what they’re made out of but they’re an Asian version of a smoothy that was VERY refreshing.
Our families favorite holiday is Halloween.
These boots aren’t made for walkin’.
We ended up at Temple Square (got a sweet parking spot in the SHADE) so the kids could just run around and look. The Assembly Hall was open so we walked in to take a look – just a little chapel inside with the organ against the back wall so we turned back around since that’s not the funnest place for kids. Took a look at a couple of statues then a sister missionary told us about the new family exhibit in the north visitor’s building that the kids might like. Alright, let’s head that way. Inside that building there’s a mock-up Jeruselem, huge paintings depicting stories in the scriptures and the Christus.
Ah the Christus. Jack asked me to come with him to the 11′ statue of Christ to show me something he learned. He pointed out the holes in His hands and in His feet. Very nice! We were having a lovely time when Piper pointed out something too. “Mom,” looking at Jesus’ face, “he’s so CUTE!” Thanks for the buzz kill. :o)
Then we went through the little family exhibit and the kids were so well-behaved. The sister missionaries asked them (mostly Jack) questions and they answered politely. The guy acting as the dad is CJane’s husband, so that was fun to point out to the kids that he was at our house for dinner recently. He did a FABULOUS job ;o)
On our way home we stopped by Karen & Heather’s for a little visiting and ended up home about 8pm (after getting Wendy’s on the way).
Lovely day.
